Dit was baie lekker. Sal weer daar bly.

Die woning is goed geleë en naby aan die uitgang vir mense wat wildtuin toe wil ry. Dit ontbreek wel braaigeriewe, maar het 'n klein kombuisie as jy gou iets aanmekaar wil slaan vir ete. Dit is naby aan eetplekke en 'n swemplek vir kinders. Die sekuriteit is baie behulpsaam met die optel en afgee van sleutels, asook met inligting oor Marloth Park.

It was very nice. Will stay there again.

The house is well located and close to the exit for people who want to drive to the game park. It lacks braai facilities, but has a small kitchen if you want to quickly whip up something for dinner. It is close to places to eat and a swimming area for children. The security is very helpful with picking up and dropping off keys, as well as with information about Marloth Park.

Oornagstop op pad na KNP.

Reëlings duidelik uitgelê en alles het afgeloop soos gereël. Huisie toegerus vir twee. Hou ingedagte dat toegang tot huisie is via 'n kort stel trappe. Mag problematies wees vir sommige mense en rystoel toegang. Groep vlakvarke wat onder huis slaap is 'n bonus.

Was aangenaam.

Kan iets doen oor die voordeur. Sekerlik is vullisverwydering die eienaar se verantwoordelikheid.

Maklike toegang tot die Wildtuin, maar gemiddeld tot onder-gemiddelde akkommodasie.

Die lakens en handdoeke is papier dun. Ek het gevra vir 'n ekstra enkelbed, dit was nie daar nie. Bushbaby benodig aandag. Dit is nie goeie waarde vir geld nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Easy access to the Wildlife Park, but average to below average accommodation.

The sheets and towels are paper thin. I asked for an extra single bed, it wasn't there. Bushbaby needs attention. It is not good value for money.

Oorspronklike huisie wat opknapping nodig het.

Huisie is baie oorspronklik en uniek, maar gee meer die gevoel asof jy in iemand anders se huis slaap - dit het nie 'n gastehuis-gevoel nie. Kaste is onnet binne en die hele eenheid het opknapping nodig. Watertemperatuur is moeilik om te reguleer. Ek sal ook nuwe beddegoed aanbeveel.

Original cottage in need of renovation.

Huisie is very original and unique, but feels more like you're sleeping in someone else's house - it doesn't have a guest house feel. Cupboards are messy inside and the whole unit needs renovation. Water temperature is difficult to regulate. I would also recommend new bedding.

Dit was asemrowend, ons het besluit om 'n huis daar te koop.

Dit is die vriendelikste plek waar ons nog vakansie gehou het, en die diere het ons harte gesteel soos ek gesê het ons is besig om huis daar te soek om te koop.

Bushbaby Haven nie wat ons verwag het nie!

Die eenheid kort baie aandag en opknapping. Dit het gereën toe ons een nag daar oorgebly het op pad na Kruger Wildtuin. Grasdak lek in sitkamer / woonarea en ook op stoep. Kombuiskas deur het in twee geval toe my vrou dit oopmaak. Trappe baie oorspronklik maar gevaarlik wanneer nat. Eetgerei / borde ens. nie na wense nie. Opvou kampstoele stukkend en reeds lankal by hul leeftyd verby. Stoele in leefarea baie onprakties! Veiligheid beslis nie op standaard nie. Daar was heelnag van vroegaand af 'n krag onderbreking en alarmstelsel se battery gou-gou pap en alarm dus van geen nut. Moet vervang word. Jammer maar ek kan nie Bushbaby Haven aanbeveel nie.

Bushbaby Haven not what we expected!

The unit needs a lot of attention and renovation. It rained when we stayed there one night on our way to Kruger Wildlife Park. Thatched roof leaks in living room / living area and also on porch. Kitchen cabinet door fell in two when my wife opened it. Stairs very original but dangerous when wet. Cutlery / plates etc. not as desired. Folding camping chairs broken and long past their useful life. Chairs in living area very impractical! Safety definitely not up to standard. There was a power outage all night from early evening and the alarm system's battery quickly died and the alarm was therefore of no use. Must be replaced. Sorry but I cannot recommend Bushbaby Haven.

Die verblyf is klein, maar lekker. Dis knus en die perfekte blyplekkie vir 'n paartjie. Dis ver van geraas, maar steeds naby genoeg om 'n vinnige draai by die winkel te maak.

Met aankoms het ons bietjie gesukkel met 'n gebreekte sleutel en dit was so bietjie frustrerend dat ons nie kon inboek die eerste dag nie, maar die eienaar het ons gebruik van die huis langsaan gegee. Andersins was die verblyf heerlik. Wens ons kon langer bly. Ons sal beslis teruggaan.

The accommodation is small but nice. It's cosy and the perfect place for a couple. It's far from noise, but still close enough to take a quick turn at the store.

Upon arrival we struggled a bit with a broken key and it was so frustrating that we couldn't check in the first day, but the owner gave us use of the house next door. Otherwise, the stay was lovely. Wish we could stay longer. We will definitely go back.

Alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n kort wegbreek. Goeie kommunikasie van die eienaar. Die diere kom kuier terwyl mens braai en die nagapies ook. Ons was gelukkig om olifante en leeus teen die draad te kry. Ons kon die heel nag die leeus hoor brul.

Everything you need for a short break. Good communication from the owner. The animals come to visit while you are grilling and the night owls too. We were lucky to get elephants and lions up against the wire. We could hear the lions roaring all night.

Dit was absoluut fantasties gewees, was net ek en my man, regte getaway plekkie!

Ons het 'n wonderlike plekkie ontdek by Bushbaby Haven, dis rustig, skoon en ideaal vir ' n naweekwegbreek as jy van die stad af wil wegkom. Daar is alles wat jy nodig het in die kombuis, badkamer en het tot bordspeletjies gekry saam speelkaarte op die koffietafel. Die nagapies sorg vir goeie vermaak, onthou net die piesang, hulle lief dit baie! Dankie vir 'n lekker plekkie, koffie op die patio is net wat so naweek nodig het!

We discovered a wonderful place at Bushbaby Haven, it's quiet, clean and ideal for a weekend getaway if you want to get away from the city. There is everything you need in the kitchen, bathroom and even got board games along with playing cards on the coffee table. The nightcaps provide good entertainment, just remember the banana, they love it a lot! Thanks for a nice place, coffee on the patio is just what a weekend like this needs!

Bushbaby Haven 's response

Goeie dag

Dankie vir jou resensie.

Ons adverteer egter nie 'n braaier nie, alhoewel die mikrogolf wat geadverteer is, was verkeerd en ons het dit nou reggestel. Ons vra om verskoning daarvoor, ons is besig om te kyk na die opsie om 'n mikrogolf in Bushbaby te plaas.
Ons het in November 2017 die gas geyser vervang vir 'n veel groter gas geyser vir die huisie, om te verseker dat daar geen probleme met warm water was nie. Daar is 'n moontlikheid dat die instelling weer gedoen moet word, en ek sal seker maak dit word so gou moontlik gedoen.
Ek is baie bekommerd oor die kakkerlak probleem. Ek was daar, 'n week voor jy daar gebly het en ek het in die huis gebly, sonder kakkerlakke. Daarbenewens het die huishulp van Marloth Haven die oggend skoongemaak voordat jy aangekom het. Dit gaan dus regtig my om. Ons het 'n dame op die terrein en ek sal haar vra om te gaan kyk na die kakkerlak aas wat opgerig is. Ek weet kakkerlakke kan baie vinnig manifesteer en ek vra om verskoning vir u blootstelling aan daardie probleem.

As ons hierdie probleme uitgesorteer het, laat weet my asseblief wanneer u terug wil gaan na die area, en ons kan probeer om 'n voordeel vir u probleme te organiseer.

Vriendelike groete
Marloth Havens
